Re: Delta Force Hawk Ops vs. Battlefield 2042
I now have about 100hours in DF-mainly playing havoc warfare in both the conquest and breakthrough modes.
I have enjoyed playing it, whilst it is just a poor mans version of BF2042 if you can look past that its actually not bad, it wont ever be a BF Killer in anyway shape or form but will give people something else to play now that BF2042 is dead in the water.
As its only the alpha the full release is in oct so some give n take with expectations
The Good
I love the anticheat/reporting system (You can report a wide variety of issues with players) every week they publish a list of banned users.
The XP rank of system for weapons and extensive mods you can attach (Test them on the firing range before you go out into a game)
Call in system for smoke, artillery, vehicles and cruise missiles with extra points you gain in game.
Extra XP for kill assists
Vehicle repair station
Ammo/Health station
NO waiting for games
Games are generally over 15-20mins
Weapons are allocated to the specialist so cant mix and match to a degree.
Fixed AA have 360 degree movement
Mobile AA have 360 degree movement
Fixed artillery positions on one map
Shows Kills, assists, revives and flags only in scoreboard
Shows who you killed and who killed you at each death by player
The world chat in the menu screen is heavily moderated with what you can and cant say
The detail with landscape/buildings is good
The bad
You dont know who is AI and who is not (Hint-AI wont revive, jump in a vehicle, and always stick together in groups)
AI have aimbot/laser type kills
Vehicles are sluggish (Imagine BF vehicles at half speed) and can be destroyed with 3 rockets
Only two maps for conquest/breakthrough
The menu system is cumbersome to collect and upgrade rewards/extra bonus points-navigate to different modes
They use specialists
Fixed AA cant go low set at about 15 degree minimum so if a chopper flies lower than the aa turret you cannot shoot them
Sadly cheaters galore 😞 but they usually get banned in a day or so
Hit reg and ttk is terrible very little spread
No console till about 2025 and no controller support
If your in oceanic you will be playing through the EU server
At this stage no building destruction till full release in October
A few other questionable things we need to see they say "no pay to win" but no ones going to make a game for free...without wanting compensation so i would say micro transactions will be a definite but on what exactly who knows.
